Hi All, I am trying to set up a simple retrieval of data in my PostgreSQL database. The input (in Arabic) has to be in unicode. I can specify an argument of 'arabic_name:ustring' and that is accepted okay. However, something happens between the submission of the form and the execution of the query in the PostgreSQL backend, and no data is returned. If I cut the query, paste it into a terminal window, and excute it in psql, I get the desired data back. Anyone have any ideas? I notice that 'ustring' is not a type you can specify in the dtml-sqlvar tag. (I am running Redhat Linux 9.0, Zope 2.61, and the ZPsycopgDA adaptor).
